Hello, I have a lovely kenta palm that has been thriving in my livingroom for a few years. We will soon be moving to a new apartment with less indoor space for plants and I was wondering if I can move the plant to the garden? I live in Geneva with winter temperatures that often drop below 0°C. Advice would be most appreciated. Saleve
I had success with a slow hardening of plants when the temps started hitting low-mid 50's Farenheit. Anything else is a definate loss. One year I almost lost a Ficus this way, but with 2 months of babying it recovered from the frost damage (severly trimmed!!) Good luck, but never let it go below about 10-12*C
You can move it outdoors for the summer, but if you want it to survive, it'll have to come back inside in the autumn. It might tolerate a degree or two below freezing, but not more, nor for prolonged periods.
